Great to meet you!

As a board-certified psychotherapist I believe that seeking professional mental health support is an act of bravery that shows strength, not weakness. It takes courage to take that first step, but the journey can lead to profound healing, growth, and a better quality of life. I have practiced for 20 years, and my clinical focus is on working with overachieves that are struggling with perfectionism and imposter syndrome and consequently struggling with stress, anxiety and burnout.

My approach to therapy

Every individual has their own story, which calls for a personalized approach to care. When we choose to collaborate, we’ll work together as partners throughout your therapeutic journey. I prioritize open communication and mutual respect as the foundation of our relationship.

What you can expect from me

By integrating evidence-based psychotherapy treatments that have proven efficacy and are outcome-focused, I aim to provide you with the most effective care possible. I’ll be here to listen, challenge, guide, and support you every step of the way.
